Am I likely to get taken down for their self harm policy based on my videos?
I make animations that are solely about my trauma and experiences with psych wards, mental illnesses, and self harm and suicidal thoughts. However, after a nasty encounter with someone on a video game- they said they're going to report my channel for self harm.
I'm a paranoid/overly anxious type I'll admit- but I'm worried. I do NOT show how to self harm, but I do show self harm scars on my characters, implications of active bleeding, medical care for those scars, etc in quite a few of my videos. It's a psych ward, and unfortunately patients have that. I'm afraid that person will report my entire channel and may even get to friends to help them.
It's a stupid reason why they're after me- tbh and it's probably just trolling cause I'm a easy target. But, are my videos really at risk of going against the self harm policy? Will I get taken down/a strike? I don't care about making money.
I'm really trying to make it in the animation field- please help me.
